Former Bolton favourite Jay-Jay Okocha has condemned the lack of investment in
the club that has left him feeling his four years at the Reebok Stadium were "a
waste of time".

Okocha spent four years with the Lancashire outfit from 2002, making 145 appearances.

The 38 year-old's time with Bolton coincided with their rise up the Premier League under Sam Allardyce, a period that also included a League Cup final appearance and a European campaign.

It all seems like such a long time ago now though.

Robbed of star men Stuart Holden and Lee Chung-yong for virtually the entire campaign, Bolton struggled throughout and finally paid the price when they failed to overcome Stoke on the final day, which ended an 11-year stay in the top flight.

Okocha felt the collapse was inevitable after a steady decline over the previous few years.
